Question
Find the additive inverse of:
$\frac{15}{-4}$
$\frac{15}{-4}$
✓
Answer
$\frac{15}{-4}=\frac{15\times(-1)}{-4\times(-1)}=\frac{-15}{4}$
$\therefore$ Additive inverse of $\frac{-15}{4}=-\Big(\frac{-15}{4}\Big)$
$=\frac{15}{4}$
$\therefore$ Additive inverse of $\frac{-15}{4}=-\Big(\frac{-15}{4}\Big)$
$=\frac{15}{4}$
